This is a fantastic new template.
Haha keep these coming - loving them all!
Never seen this template before; what show is this?
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Apparently it’s fairly niche. Who knew
I mean, the show is fairly new, it only released last year
This is avian erasure!
angry ghost noises
They didn’t have the technology to meme, and thus went extinct.
Ah yes, the new series. Star Trek: Everyone Is Beautiful - No Uglies Allowed
Wow. It was a joke and y’all took it so seriously. I had no idea this community was so toxic. Good job for making sure I won’t participate in this community again.
In a world where money has no value, everyone can afford to have proper nutrition and medical care, reducing obesity. Furthermore, if one is in a pseudo military organization, one would probably have to be physically active and fit.
Beyond that, Starfleet is supposed to be the best of the best of the best. While that doesn’t extend the aesthetics it is reasonable to believe that people so driven would tend to look good.
Wasn’t everyone good looking in previous Star Trek shows too? Maybe I just have low standards…
Who was ugly in previous star treks? Green bikini woman?
Dathon, at El-Adrel, when the mean girls criticized.
Gorn Captain wasn’t doing it for me, I have to admit.
The Gorn in SNW though… 🥵
Stupid sexy gorn
Now that you say it I’m sure theres more than a few people got into rubber outfit fetishes because of the gorn.
Scotty wasn’t exactly a looker.
Oh I beg to differ
Says you
Young Jimmy Doohan looked good. What are you talking about?
Stupid sexy Morn!
I wish he’d shut up sometime :<
Yeah, also just a random selection of actors will probably be pretty attractive. People who want to be on tv/movies also tend to either be attractive already or try to make themselves attractive.
How dare a TV show have good-looking actors!
Edit: I’m not toxic, you’re toxic! Screw you guys, I quit.
I’m toxic cause I made a joke at no-one’s expense and got a severely disproportionately adverse reaction?
What does your comment here even add to this community? You’re just needlessly punching at someone because they made a joke people didn’t agree with which insulted no one. My joke, while many people didn’t like it, still got people to talk about star trek and add to the participation of the community. On the other hand, your comment just adds needless vitriol and has nothing to do with star trek.
To me, it’s very clear that this community, with your help, exudes toxicity. I just wanted to join in on having fun with star trek and got downvoted to hell for it and comments at my expense. Even comments like yours which only add toxicity to the community are being rewarded with upvotes.
I’m mildly interested to hear how that is not solid evidence of a toxic community, but not from someone who immediately jumped to kick me while I’m down because I called out the community for their toxic behavior nor the people who would reward such behavior.
You threw out a joke that didn’t land. Which is fine, it happens all the time.
Your reaction to that joke not landing was really bad. And you deserve a little bit of pushback for being so butt hurt about people not liking your joke. And the angrier you get at everyone else, the more you push yourself out of the conversation.
We like Star trek, we like jokes, we’ve all made jokes that didn’t work before. Just let it go and move on.
I’m not upset about it not landing, logically more jokes fall flat rather than land. Instead I found the severely disproportionately adverse reaction to be very distasteful.
Don’t particularly agree with a comment? Don’t upvote it. Just move on. And that is what non-toxic communities will do. Downvotes are essentially saying “this does not belong at all” because they are taking the time to act rather than moving on.
And again, I received some very toxic replies, including from OP which were immediately upvoted, though some of those were deleted.
These things together signal a toxic overall attitude, and particularly so when met with even more toxicity when calling it out, like your comment.
the more you push yourself out of the conversation.
I really don’t care if I am making things worse by retorting with reasoning and logic. Y’all already burned that bridge. Would a Klingon care that a Ferengi disapproves of defending his honor? Why would I care that toxic people disapprove of me pointing out their toxicity?
Hopefully this community pushes out this toxic behavior, which can really only happen by calling it out and using downvotes appropriately.
You asking others what their comment adds when you’ve been ranting and raving a day after you claimed you wouldn’t participate here is telling.
As you condescendingly told the guy who didn’t properly screenshot his /c/privacy issue last week, “You can do better in the future”.
You asking others what their comment adds when you’ve been ranting and raving a day after you claimed you wouldn’t participate here is telling.
It’s not and you have provided no reasoning as to why. Saying things out loud does not make them true. Am I wrong in wanting to defend my claim that I am experiencing needless toxicity in this community with reasoning and logic?
I just threw out a harmless joke and got rude replies thrown back into my face which were supported by others. I called out that toxic behavior and got even more toxic responses which also garnered support by the community. Some of the toxic comments were deleted. Here’s one that OP deleted (I wonder why):
I have a small amount of optimism that by pointing out this toxicity and backing up my claims may lead to an improvement in the future, or as you quoted me saying before “You can do better in the future”. Then again, maybe not and I could be wasting my time, but I think should at least try.
There are far better uses of your time than white-knighting perceived toxicity in such a tame thread. It’s not even your thin skin or this supposed disagreement in what’s toxic and what isn’t that gets me.
It’s your blatant hypocrisy in an “I’m taking my ball and going home” style statement only to write paragraph after paragraph of self-serving bullshit afterwards, calling a community out and THEN trying to justify your actions in post after post. If you’d just left and not gone edit/response wild, we’d be done long ago…but I think you just NEED to get the last word. We’ll bud, it’s all yours, we’re moving on.
Downvotes for a lame joke that missed the mark = toxic? I read all the responses, nothing toxic there… so what else could it be? Perhaps you aren’t ready for the Internet.
Your comment is perfect proof of the toxicity. Thanks.
Seems the universe says otherwise.
The same people who reward your toxic comments with upvotes means the whole universe disagrees? That’s not a biased result at all!
Today you learned that a biased result isn’t necessarily an incorrect one. Sometimes in life, a spade really is a spade.

Is the arguement about a Star Trek shitposting board over? If not, I want to join your side. I wanted to be toxic ever since as a young Turducken I saw a holoprogram with a girl singing about being Toxic.
For real though, it’s Risa. Getting downvoted is a good thing. The top of this us usually something with Gowron or Garek shoehorned into another meme.
The quality of memes is to be expected, but the community is The_Donald levels of toxicity. So, yeah being disapproved of by the community seems to be more of a sign of doing things right.
Let’s have a mudbath like we’re on Parallax. This is a chill place. Don’t poke others and you won’t get poked.
Most people most of the time look fine. All you have to do is wash your hair and not be grossly overweight it isn’t difficult especially when you have access to makeup artists. What point are you trying to make
Got a thing for Hemmer eh?
Aw I miss him. To your point, I always got the sense that he was hideous for an Andorian.
He’s an Aenar, a distinct sub-species of Andorian. I think they all look more or less like that.
Found the space racist.
“Look like that” in the sense that he’s not outside the norm for their species, not in the sense that they all look the same.
They look like normal humans.
My thought too. It’s amazing how having a professional makeup artist can turn an average into a stunner.
It’s amazing sometimes you see some actors when they are being personally responsible for their own hairstyles. They look homeless.
Oh no… they won’t participate anymore. What will we NPCs do without our main character?
Jealousy is never a good look.
Bye Felicia.
Buhbye
